Awesome Start to 2016

We all start the New Year with resolutions and hopes that the year will be even better than the last. For me, 2016 started off on the right foot. But before I talk about 2016: here’s a quick recap of 2015.

2015 was supposed to be the year of stability, after a marital separation. It was supposed to be the year to get comfortable, spend time with my kids, and enjoy the new me. Instead, it was the year of change! The man I started dating in 2014 is a bigger part of my life than I ever anticipated, and I moved into a new and wonderful home. My career goals changed and I was able to take on roles that I would not have been able to without the support of my boyfriend and kids. I achieved the MCSD: Azure Solutions Architect certification (finally) in December. My role at the office broadened and I was able to spread Azure excitement and training to Microsoft partners. 2015 was a great year!

But 2016 is going to be awesome! After several years of waiting in the wings it is now time for me to push the boundaries even more, take on new challenges, and finally focus on my career now that my personal life is in a good place. As of yet, I have not set any personal goals, but I have set several expectations for my career goals. I am not going to share those here, but I am on the right path. On January 1st, I received notification that I was awarded the Microsoft Valuable Partner (MVP) for the 3rd year in a row. I also decided to renew my Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) and was reinstated, and that was all in the first week of the New Year. (I really hope that means I did not peak for 2016.) And this is only the beginning of what I expect to be the best year ever!

A little bit about Sharon Bennett

I have been in the IT industry for 23 years now. I remember the early days of DOS and the launch of Windows 3.1. The Internet was not available to the general public at that time. We used Archie and Veronica to "surf" (if you can call text-based internet surfing).
After all these years and changes one thing has always stood out: most people knew technology could help them but didn't know how to implement it.
My passion is teaching others on the technologies that can not only help their companies but their careers.
